INTRODUCTION 

\ 

[HE  Club  has  lately  held  an  exhibition  of  book- 
plates, or,  as  better  known  in  the  language 
of  the  learned,  of  "  ex-libris."  These,  de- 
signed, engraved,  and  printed,  more  or  less  artistically, 
and  pasted  upon  the  inside  of  book-covers,  serve  as 
marks  of  ownership ;  also  as  advertisements  for  the 
return  of  strayed  or  stolen  volumes.  The  book-plate, 
however,  is  no  guarantee  as  to  the  past  or  present 
ownership  of  the  book  in  which  it  is  found,  for  the 
person  who  might  hesitate  to  remove  a  fine  old  title- 
page  or  frontispiece  may  not  scruple  to  transfer  a  book- 
plate, especially  if  it  be  that  of  a  noted  personage,  and 
thus  endow  a  favored  tome  with  a  more  illustrious 
pedigree.  Doubtless  no  real  bibliophile  would  yield 
to  such  temptation. 

One  may  imagine  that  this  state  of  affairs  was  antici- 
pated by  some  old  lovers  of  their  books  when  they 
inscribed  their  names  upon  the  title-pages  to  identify 
themselves  with  their  volumes.  If  kings  and  princes, 
Montaigne,  Melancthon,  and  Grolier  himself,  did  such 
things,  as  they  all  occasionally  did,  we  are  prone,  if  the 
signature  be  authentic,  to  condone  the  offense,  and  to

viii  INTRODUCTION 

cherish  the  writing  with  some  feeling  of  veneration.  As 
a  rule,  however,  inscriptions  of  this  character  are  but  an 
unprofitable  vandalism. 

It  is  evident  that  every  collector  or  owner  of  a  library 
cannot  well  have  all  of  his  books  bound  or  rebound, 
with  his  arms,  name,  or  device  stamped  upon  them; 
much  less  is  he  justified  in  making  such  additions  to 
the  bindings  of  fine  old  books,  although  there  are  in- 
stances of  this  species  of  vandalism. 

The  custom  of  identifying  in  some  manner  books 
with  their  owners  is  as  old  as  books  themselves.  In  the 
early  manuscripts  personal  insignia,  or  coats  of  arms,  are 
frequently  found  emblazoned  or  interwoven  in  the  dec- 
oration of  the  pages.  They  were  also  inserted  in  the 
painted  borders  of  early  printed  books,  and  one  would 
perhaps  prefer  incunabula  with  such  proprietary  records. 

With  the  introduction,  early  in  the  sixteenth  century, 
of  bookbindings  in  morocco  and  calf-skin,  susceptible  of 
delicate  and  elaborate  ornamentation,  came  the  custom, 
with  the  more  wealthy  bibliophile,  of  causing  his  name, 
monogram,  or  arms  to  be  stamped  upon  the  sides  as  part 
of  the  decoration.  With  the  revival  of  art  and  letters  came 
also  that  of  individuality,  but  we  have  to  regret  that  the 
artists  so  often  forgot  to  record  themselves;  more  mindful 
of  their  work  and  the  glorification  of  their  patrons  than  of 
their  own  merit.  It  is  not  an  idle  curiosity  which  seeks  to 
know  something  of  the  men  who  bound  and  decorated 
the  fine  old  books  of  the  sixteenth  century,  and  worked 
upon  them  the  names  of  Maioli  and  Grolier,  or  the  arms 


INTRODUCTION  ix 

and  mottoes  of  Frangois  I,  Henri  II,  or  Diane  de  Poi- 
tiers. It  is  a  strange  fate  which  links  illustrious  names 
with  those  of  the  modest  bookbinders  Clovis  Eve,  Le 
Gascon,  Boyer,  and  their  successors,  making  them,  even 
after  a  lapse  of  three  hundred  years,  as  household  words 
to  every  lover  of  books. 

The  exhibition  described  in  this  catalogue  is  a  tribute 
to  the  memory  of  the  enlightened  bibliophile  and  his 
bookbinder;  a  page  from  history  and  art.  A  French- 
man would  call  it  an  assemblage  of  "livres  de  proven- 
ance," a  term  for  which  there  is  no  exact  phrase  in  Eng- 
lish. After  the  author  who  creates  the  books  comes  the 
reader,  the  appreciative  owner  and  legitimate  guardian 
of  them,  and  as  such  we  remember  Maioli,  Grolier,  Cor- 
vinus,  Count  d'Hoym,  De  Thou,  the  Medicis  and  Cardi- 
nal Amboise,  as  we  do  the  royal  patrons  of  literature 
and  art,  many  of  whom  are  represented  in  this  exhibition. 

A  person  to  whom  a  book  is  no  better  than  a  news- 
paper should  experience  a  slight  glow  of  curiosity,  if  not 
of  interest,  at  seeing  the  volume  of  verses  by  the  favorite 
poet  of  Henri  IV  of  France  —  the  identical  copy  owned 
by  the  king,  with  his  arms  and  the  H's  on  its  vellum  sides. 
As  we  look  upon  it  we  think  of  the  massacre  of  St.  Bar- 
tholomew, when  he  was  saved  by  Catharine  de  Me- 
dicis ;  of  the  battle  of  Ivry ;  of  his  jovial  moments  and 
of  Ravaillac;  also  of  Marguerite  de  Valois  and  her 
books  with  their  marguerites  and  motto,  "  Expectata 
non  Eludet."  The  volumes  belonging  to  Catharine  her- 
self, and  to  Marie  de  Medicis,  complete  the  tableau. 


x  INTRODUCTION 

There  is  also  exhibited  the  book  of  the  great  surgeon, 
Ambroise  Pare,  upon  his  new  method  of  healing  wounds, 
instead  of  burning  them  with  boiling  oil  and  hot  irons  — 
the  identical  copy  he  had  printed  on  vellum  and  presented 
to  Henri  II.  Of  books  belonging  to  this  king  and  to 
Diane  de  Poitiers  there  are  several,  with  the  royal  arms 
and  the  monograms  H  D  and  the  crescents. 

Geometry  was  a  favorite  study  of  Francois  I,  and 
the  "  Livre  Singulier  et  utile  touchant  Tart  et  practique 
de  geometric, "  by  Charles  Bouvelle,  printed  at  Paris 
in  1542,  is  the  king's  copy,  a  beautiful  specimen  of 
binding,  with  his  arms  on  the  sides,  and  the  crowned 
F's,  the  salamanders,  and  tongues  of  flame. 

Incomplete  as  it  is,  the  list  is  still  a  long  one:  Riche- 
lieu, Anne  of  Austria,  Mazarin,  Bossuet,  the  Henris  and 
the  Louis  of  France,  Mile,  de  Montpensier,  Mmes.  de 
Maintenon,  La  Valliere,  Pompadour,  Du  Barry;  books 
of  Marie  Leczinska,  queen  of  France,  and  her  father 
Stanislaus,  king  of  Poland,  who  established  his  exiled 
court  at  Nancy,  and  made  it  a  miniature  Paris ;  of  the 
daughters  of  Louis  XV;  of  Marie  Antoinette;  together 
with  many  volumes  in  the  rich  old  French  moroccos 
of  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  centuries,  stamped 
with  the  arms  of  prelates,  nobles,  and  noted  persons. 

If  comparatively  few  books  bearing  marks  of  Eng- 
lish ownership  are  found  in  this  catalogue,  it  is  prin- 
cipally owing  to  the  fact  that  Englishmen  of  the  "olden 
time  "  were  not  addicted  to  bibliophilism  in  the  modern 
acceptance  of  the  term ;  otherwise  they  would  have 


INTRODUCTION  xi 

exacted  from  the  printer  greater  care  in  the  execution 
of  his  work,  and  preserved,  in  some  measure,  the  tradi- 
tions of  Caxton,  Wynkyn  de  Worde  and  Pynson,  few  if 
any  of  whose  books,  however,  have  come  down  to  us 
bearing  upon  their  covers  the  insignia  of  royal  or  dis- 
tinguished owners. 

The  best  English  bindings  of  the  sixteenth  and  sev- 
enteenth centuries  are  evidently  by  foreign  craftsmen, 
probably  Huguenot  workmen  who  fled  from  religious 
persecution  in  France.  There  are  examples  exhibited 
from  the  libraries  of  Robert  Dudley,  earl  of  Leicester ; 
Henrietta  Maria,  wife  of  Charles  I;  Charles  II;  John 
Evelyn  ;  Sir  Kenelm  Digby;  Queen  Anne  and  others. 

Quaritch,  the  London  bookseller,  designates  some  of 
the  finest  bindings  executed  in  England  in  the  sixteenth 
century  as  " English  Groliers."  It  is  true  the  geomet- 
rical patterns  upon  the  covers  play  their  part  as  scenic 
effects,  but  the  dramatis  personae  are  missing. 

The  gatherer  of  books  is  sometimes  apt  to  consider 
not  so  much  the  volumes  he  has,  as  those  he  does  not 
possess,  and  many  coveted  names  will  be  found  missing 
from  this  bibliophile  muster-roll.  It  may,  however,  be 
truthfully  asserted  that  no  such  representative  exhibition 
has  ever  before  taken  place  in  America.

This  wonderful  example  of  the  bibliopegic  art  is  possibly 
without  a  peer,  and  presumably  unique.  In  size  a  royal 
folio,  it  is  covered  in  red  morocco,  the  back  decorated 
with  tear-drops  and  fleurs-de-lys.  The  sides  contain,  in 
the  center  panel,  a  full-length  figure  of  Henri  III  of 
France,  favorite  son  of  Catherine  de  Medicis,  and  victim 
of  the  assassin  monk,  Jacques  Clement.  The  figure  is  ex- 
ecuted in  a  mosaic  of  morocco,  following  the  true  colors 
and  form  of  his  costume,  the  face  and  hands  being  in  vellum 
in  order  that  the  portrait  and  flesh  tints  may  be  better  ex- 
ecuted. The  arms  of  the  king  are  in  the  lower  left-hand 
corner,  within  a  border  composed  of  garlands,  leaf-sprays, 
stars,  cherubim,  fleurs-de-lys,  in  compartments,  and  the  ini- 
tial H  repeated  at  intervals.
